Robinson Cano and a possible Contract Extension

i was just listening to michael kay and buster olney was on mentioning the yankees talking possible contract extensions, especially w/ cano playing in his final year of his current contract.

no one can deny what cano is worth; cano, imo, is a top 5 mlb player. if cano ever became a free agent, i would assume every team would make an offer for this superstar.

if the yankees offer cano 5yr 125mill an cano/boras want between 8-10 yrs at 250mill.

if you're cashman/yankee ownership, do you give cano 8-10yrs at 25mill per season? personally, if i were the yankees, i'd offer cano, at most, 6yrs 150mill. but if boras replies, "no deal! more yrs!" would you trade cano or let cano play out the final year of the contract(he becomes a free agent)?

if you decide to trade cano, in my opinion, you could get a "kings ransom" return for cano. the yankees, with this trade, could indeed restock their entire minor league system by trading cano.

lets say you were cashman now and you could trade cano. where would you trade cano and what would you ask for in return?

though baltimore and toronto both have pretty heavy minor league systems and are willing to spend big money on a player, i know(hopefully) the yankees wouldnt be dumb enough to trade him within the division

I hope they don't give him anything close to 10 years. He'll be 31 when he hits free agency. I would offer 5/90. If he wants more, let him get it elsewhere.

As far as trading him, I don't know how much of a king's ransom they get, given that he's basically a 1 year rental. Still, a year of Cano is pretty valuable, so maybe they could get a nice haul. That's really an academic question though, because they won't trade him.

well then he will go elsewhere....People like Bourne will get that kind of money.... I would not go over 150 mill on cano but 5/90 for a player of his caliber just will not do it.

5 years would be ideal for extending Cano. He seems to be shooting for a mega contract so I won't be surprised if he tests the open market.
